Fuel protests have caused disruption across Ireland, with convoys from multiple counties slowing key routes into Dublin amid growing anger over rising costs.

Meanwhile, attention shifts to the Middle East, where tensions are escalating.

Iran is under pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and accept a US-backed ceasefire deal.
